What is TUDCA?
Tudca (tauroursodeoxycholic acid) is a natural bile acid that supports your liver in detoxification and metabolism. Your body produces the active ingredient itself, but a targeted supplement can be useful if you are under increased strain due to training, diet or stress.
Traditionally, tauroursodeoxycholic acid is used for bile disorders such as cholestasis, and current research is also investigating positive effects in neurodegenerative diseases. As a dietary supplement with 250 mg per capsule, you receive a scientifically proven dosage for optimum liver health.
TUDCA - Tauroursodeoxycholic Acid explained
TUDCA stands for tauroursodeoxycholic acid - a bile acid that occurs naturally in the body. Your body produces it itself, but an additional intake can be useful if you are under a lot of stress. As a dietary supplement, each capsule provides 250 mg of pure tauroursodeoxycholic acid.
Why is a healthy liver so important?
Your liver is the engine of your metabolism. It filters 1.5 liters of blood per minute, detoxifies the body and controls the processing of proteins, carbohydrates and fats. If the liver is not functioning optimally, your body cannot utilize nutrients properly - no matter how healthy your diet is.
This is particularly important for athletes:
- High exertion through training - intensive units challenge detoxification
- Protein-rich diet - increases metabolic work
- Taking supplements - additional processing by the liver is necessary
The problem: the liver has no pain receptors. Elevated liver values in the blood are often the first warning sign of illness. It is better to support the liver at an early stage and thus prevent illness.
Why this matters to you: Your liver controls your metabolism. The supplement helps to strengthen the natural function of the liver - ideal for increased stress caused by training or other dietary supplements.
TUDCA and metabolism - more muscle, less fat
The supplement not only protects your liver. Studies show: Tauroursodeoxycholic acid improves the insulin sensitivity of muscle cells by up to 30 percent - while fatty tissue remains unchanged. This effect is particularly interesting for diseases such as diabetes.
This means for you:
- Better nutrient supply to the muscles - more energy for training and recovery
- Optimized muscle building - nutrients go exactly where they are needed
- Less fat storage - your body uses calories more efficiently
This so-called body composition is the goal for many athletes: building muscle and reducing body fat. The active ingredient supports your metabolism.
This effect can make all the difference, especially during build-up phases or diets - by specifically reducing fat storage while simultaneously building muscle. Your body uses more nutrients to build muscle instead of storing them as body fat.
How does TUDCA work? Scientifically proven effectiveness
The effect of TUDCA has been proven by many studies. Research shows clear results for your liver health.
Proven effects in studies:
- Lowers elevated liver enzymes by up to 50% - reduces the burden on the liver (2)
- Improves fatty liver markers - proven in people with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (7)
- Promotes healthy bile - removes harmful bile acids from liver cells and reduces inflammation (1, 3)
One study showed that tauroursodeoxycholic acid is safe and well tolerated. Liver function improved significantly and fat deposits in the liver decreased (7).
An additional benefit for athletes: TUDCA can inhibit muscle breakdown and promote protein formation (6). This means that your muscles benefit while your liver works optimally - ideal for muscle building and regeneration.
Further health effects of TUDCA
The effects of Tudca go beyond the liver. Current studies show other positive effects on health and well-being (4).
Digestion & metabolism: The active ingredient promotes the production of bile. This helps to break down food, break down cholesterol and fight harmful bacteria - for better digestion (3).
Brain & nervous system: Studies show that tauroursodeoxycholic acid can protect the brain. Initial studies suggest that it may help with recovery from nerve damage (4).
Eye health: Initial research suggests that the supplement may protect the retina (4). Although this has not yet been confirmed by human studies, the results are promising.
These effects make Tudca a versatile dietary supplement - far beyond supporting the liver.
